Characteristics

【 Blessed to be Cursed 】

While in his darkest hour Hannya was approached with a life changing choice that would be considered damnation of the soul in the eyes of many. However, it was that very same damnation where he found an invigorating salvation. The tithe for doing so, in his eyes, a necessary price to be paid to pave the way towards true freedom from all shackles that once bound him both figuratively and literally. Since that fateful day, it has been noted that in his presence it always feels like something is following him in his journeys. A force of natural perhaps or something more?

【 The Unluckiest of Luck 】

Despite his success in reinventing himself for the better Hannya's serendipity scale seems to constantly be in flux. As if being puppeteered eternally by the mistress of fate herself. For one good measure there is always five unfortunate circumstances ready to greet him swiftly afterwards. As if like clockwork the man always finds himself in a constant cycle of good, bad, bad more so than most other people. To a point even he has developed a defensive response towards scenarios that seem to be good to be true. Prolonged periods of success often times leaving him on edge and suspicious.

【 Animal I Have Become 】

The price of freedom being rather steep. Hannya has given himself as a mostly subservient vessel of sorts to the entity that released him from his past imprisonment. In exchange, he was granted the ability to transform past the normalities that once made him purely human into something sinisterly supernatural. Despite this boon however he still retains the physicality of his original body. The only changes to his form being a set of golden glowing eyes, sharper fingernails, and his canine teeth elongating into a set of outwardly protruding fangs. In essence becoming a beastial version of himself that exudes malevolent energy.

Personality

A frighteningly charismatic type to the point of often times becoming the life of any party. Very much a commanding presence to be reckoned with. Able to demand the attention onto themselves by the very nature of their unpredictable energy. They have gained the respect of many a friend and foe alike. Praise gained often in due to the ferocity of their strong willed spirit. As well as their notable skills both in and out combat. As a man of both business and pleasures Hannya is surprisingly pragmatic. The likes of which has often times found him being favored by superiors, sometimes to his own detriment. Despite at one point being the heir to his own clan he dislikes scenarios that get too serious in context and often seeks a means to lighten the mood. Even going so far as to put on extravagant displays of comedic mockery. Despite this innate nature to please and amuse, they are extremely cynical about most things. The roots of which stem from the blatant mistreatment exhibited against him throughout the course of his life.

Behind the stylish flair and outgoing bravado. He has shown to harbor a soft spot for family and those of equal fondness. Though despite this weakness he still believes in the notion of tough love with those who are considered to be within his inner circle. There are even some who consider him to be sentimental and deep down a softie in some cases. Having caught rare glimpses of the man shedding a sad sigh or two during certain key moments in his life. Given the symbolism of his various tattoos. It comes as no surprise that Hannya holds his past close to his chest. Never forgetting a promise made or debt owed either by or onto him. Though it comes with a fair share of spotty memories as trauma can be a powerful mind breaker.

Against the many trials and tribulation that have tested his mind, heart, and soul. Hannya's loyalty is unwavering and ever enduring to an absolute fault. Sometimes even to an almost compulsively obsessive degree. As he prides himself on being a man capable of protecting and guiding those he considers his equals. Hell, even towards those he views as worthwhile enemies, he will do everything in his power to uphold mutual respect and loyalty towards them. In doing so he feels he has earned the right to one day defeat them singlehandedly. Because of this keen need for outward devotion towards those who play a critical role in his journey, whether on the side of good or bad. He often reminds others that he has a high set of personal standards to uphold.

Despite his theatrically unhinged persona verging on the edge of assumed insanity by some. He's made it well known by all that will listen that he vehemently detests dishonorable men of any walk. Seeing them as lesser by default. Relatedly, he has shown to go out of his way to help uninvolved parties endangered by his affairs as a means to avoid getting them dragged into the crossfire. Even with this gesture, he is not above carrying out acts that are considered unsavory or unthinkable by weaker willed people. Not completely selfless either, he will still put his own needs and wants before that of anyone unknown to him. However, as has been proven in the past, he is more than willing to sacrifice his own life for the sake of those he cares about in the truest sense.

Overall Hannya is a man who lives to enjoy the rush of life's thrills and chills. Generally putting excitement and the pursuit of pleasure above all else. All while dedicating his strengths and skills towards protecting those particular few he considers fortunate enough to have earned his fondness. As he'll tell you himself: "I aim to have more fun and live crazier than any of 'em."

【  Girls Just Wanna Have Fun 】Knowing full well the man's penchant for nightlife and passion for fashion. Mix the two together and you might find one of Hannya's particular flights of fancy is a little more discreet and underground. Yet somehow still remains a spectacle of over the top proportions all in the same measure. Mostly known only to those closest to the man in relation. For those privvy to the details, Hannya is admired by many as another face and name. Specifically Hanna Hiyano, Earthland's most bombastic cross-dressing queen. Not that you heard that here.【 Rhythm Of My Life 】From Pop to Hip Hop, from Disco to Rock. If it has a delightful melody with lyrics to match then it's fair game for the idol Queen of Midi. Both in the streets and on the stage Hannya has passion for musical musings. Often taking sweet solace in flexing his harmonious vocal chords when he can. It's not uncommon to catch him serenading to himself in the streets during a walk. He even has an undisputed reputation for putting on one hell of performance at events and get togethers.【 A Really Good Book 】Novels, poems, scriptures, comics, and just about everything else in between. Very few and far between is there a book that Hannya has not found some interest in reading during spurts of down time. As per his need to constantly be on go at any given moment. Reading serves as one of the few distractions that can keep him calmly planted in one place for an extended period of time. Much to his delight that is. If asked, he would gladly tell you that his favorite genre in particular is Horror stories.

⬖ Dislikes |

【 No Honor Among Thieves 】Viciously apparent about his disdain for folks who lack a level of dignity. If someone forgoes their sense of honor and respect in any given scenario where Hannya is involved. He immediately condemns them as a lesser being from that moment onward. With little to no room for redemption. Even less so to be taken seriously in any context furthermore.【 Don't Stop Me Now 】Cant be stopped, wont be stopped. Hannya is not the kind of man to take solace in slow moving environments. He grows increasingly agitated by being tied down to one thing for too long unless it's working towards a bigger goal. Becoming restless from a lack of engagement really brings out the unhinged aspects of his personage the more he is restricted from being allow to indulge himself in any capacity. The concept of being bored is an obstacle to be overcome.【 Curiosity Kills 】Ever the life of the party among his inner circles. When it comes to smaller groups Hannya is especially particular about keeping the vibes light and entertaining. Doing well to avoid any serious conversations unless the gravitas of the situation requires it. As such he deflects invasive individuals who he detects are getting too insistent on wanting to know more about him, his past, or his dealings. The deeper one delves to try and figure him out the further he will keep them at a distance. Going so far as to publicly chastise individuals if it frustrates him enough.

⬖ Motivations |

【 Spice of Life 】Living by a personal creed since clawing his way to freedom from his familial bondage. Hannya is a man in constant desire of the finer things in life. A laugh, a smile, a wicked good time. Drinks, food, dancing, you name it. Even a bar fight or two for good measure. When it comes to the potential of walking on the wild side and living it up to the fullest. He is more than ready to heed the call to action and revels in the debauchery the whole way through. It's the excitement of grand moments shared that keeps him going for more.【 Heart On Your Sleeve 】A bleeding heart through and through. Though he would be hard pressed to admit it in sentiments alone. Hannya's actions thankfully speak louder than his words when it comes to matters pertaining to the lives and safety of those he considers dear to him. Very much a man who can easily become a ride or die for folks willing to open themselves to him. After a lifetime of prejudice and judgements its no wonder that he clings to those who can see past the surface of his odd exterior and straight through to the truest version of himself hidden within. As a means to return the favor done unto him by their kindness and understanding. He does well to support those who have taken the time to build long lasting bonds with him.【 A Debt Owed 】Abused, used, and falsely accused. Becoming a scapegoat and being incarcerated on a life sentence that was cut all too short thankfully. Since his escape into the world Hannya has done all that he can so that one day he might return the favor tenfold to his judge, jury, and executioners. Collecting resources, making connections, and building himself up to be a formidable force to be reckoned with. All in preparation of delivering a bit of karmedic justice while also flushing out the worst of the corruption pervading the inner workings of his family namesake.

⬖ Fears |

【 Live And Let Die 】Having already lost several people near and dear to him during the events of his problematic past. One of which included the tragic death of his own brother. Hannya is steeled in his resolve to assure that no one else becomes a casualty as a result of his own actions taken. Whether it be directly or indirectly. If you are someone he cares for deeply enough, he would sooner freely trade his own life in favor of keeping yours safe. As the thought of letting yet another innocent soul take a bullet for him would be enough to make his sensibilities crack just a little bit more than they already have.【 Not Like This 】Ever the resourceful type from even his earliest days. Hannya has been recognized as a rather quick thinking and adaptive person. Able to use most situations they find themselves in to their advantage somewhere down the line. A clever mind with a slick execution that when presented with opportunities on a dime they tend to try and capitalize. Which is why the idea of being stripped of everything they've worked for is a terrifying notion. Even more so the feeling of being utterly powerless in the face of adversity rocks them to their core in the worst possible ways.【 In All But Name 】A deviant, a degenerate, the Mad Dog of Clan Shimano. A title seemingly fit for a villain that has been distinguished with a bloodied reputation attached to it's enforced claim. It's influence a nuisance known by not only the people of Midi but also some beyond the reaches of it's borders as well. Much to the disdain of it's traumatic origin, Hannya has taken the epitaph in stride to assert himself against the ignorance of people that condemn him. Even going so far as to use it to gain the upper hand in unfavorable circumstance but always resenting that it might hold some semblance of truth each time his moral compass is swayed in a different direction.

⬖ Hair | Color of the hair is black with some small strands of silver laced in. The style of choice is usually a short length side part that leans dominantly to the left.

⬖ Eyes | Color of the eyes are a rich shade of brown. However, it's clear that time has not been kind. As the overall shape of each are sunken, dark, and rife with signs of sleepless nights.

⬖ Physique | A specimen of size and stature for those more inclined to the dark hardships of life. His body is nothing short of athletic in design and function. Leaning more on the side of a runner's body rather than that of a weight lifter. He sports a well defined musculature that is clearly maintained on a regular basis. However, scarred and bang up in places upon closer inspection. Clear indications of wear, tear, and abuse from events unspoken becoming noticeable the more one looks. Though not in abundance as the man himself is still considered a rather attractive type despite his publicly assumed age. It seems that the years that have passed, despite being rough, have been graceful in the ways of youthfulness at the very least. Such a well tended physicality is hardly wasted as he dawns only quality garments of stylish design. Taking a particularly keen preference to form fitting leathers and full on dress suits. A personalized half-mask carved into the likeness of the same patron spirit for which they are named being the main accompaniment to the upper class attire.


⬖ Extra Features | Respected as a rite of passage within the Shimano Clan. His body has transcended to that of a badge of honor and a signet of shame in equal measure. His flesh having become a canvas for an intricately woven work of symbolism that claims the entirety of the backside from shoulder blade to upper thigh. A portion also bleeding around the shoulders and biceps. Such a wide scale piece depicts deep representation of the man's legacy thus far. The imagery of an old Midian folklore known as the Hannya serving as the centerpiece surrounded by a sinister but elegant arrangement consisting of black clouds, scattered wildflowers, and a pair of twin snakes. Each addition a manifestation that speaks a destiny of both good and bad. A homage to the path they have walked and what still remains laid before them to tread.
